Please meet the Oyster Seller, An extremely rubicund gentleman, Margaret, The little brown jug, The unfrocked parson, and Mrs. Joby. The cloth is the weight of handkerchief cloth and they are about 7 or 8 inches long- 4 or 5 inches wide. I am guessing too small for napkins but perhaps bar related.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that one of you wonderful ladies out there can tell me what these are, perhaps the significance of these names?
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend! Love to you all.

I have no idea. This is a real mystery, but someone will know.

Are the embroidered or stamped? Don't let those go, whatever you do. I am on the trail....and btw, LOVED the card...you are so sweet. You make gorgeous stationary!!! You need to sell that stuff!
No ideas at all. But I hope someone can solve the mystery.

Hi there! Well, I think they are vintage bar towels or maybe even guest towels. They are really cute and would even make a nice Christmas gift. You can do an advance search on eBay or a general search to see if you can find something similar to these.

I've never seen anything like this! But I love it!
I don't know what they are, but their names sound like an Amish version of The Canterbury Tales!
What a great thrift store find :)
sorry i can't help you. but they are very interesting. hopefully someone knows. what a find.
Hi Kim
You find some wonderfully interesting things when you are out thrifting! They are very unique and I like them. I think they could be bar towels too.
Hugs, Rhondi
I tagged you on my blog and I am still researching those towels for you.
these are cocktail napkins...i am trying to recall the maker/designer is fiodor but, i could be wrong.
